The point of considering that your existance is inside a container of sorts is to localise power, control and keep the whole thing managable. When we consider the universe and our place in it, that can be very overwhelming, so we may need to simplify to make it more understandable.
Considering that the universe is the really huge thing and consiousness is everywhere does not help me live my life, it places too much 'out there' and outside my awareness, outside my importance and outside my control. Control is probably the wrong word, but it's pointless to me, to not have any or to be at the mercy of something that isn't based on me, outside there somewhere
Container theory is just a way to view life and in the process aid in living that life, much like SR.
